Carnivorist Chats Episode 33 Healing Anorexia and a Broken Brain with Valerie Smith

Valerie was diagnosed in 1984 at the age of 14 with anorexia nervosa. She suffered for a total of 34 years. She is 5'9" and her lowest bmi was 11.8. Not only that, she spent most of the 34 years at 80 lbs. Doctors/dieticians pushed plant based heavy carbs, no fat and low protein on her. She believed them that it did not matter what she ate as long as her was weight restored. Her brain was broken with obsessive racing thoughts and screaming voices that kept her in bondage and active severe starvation on purpose. In 2017 after 33 years of severe anorexia, Valerie was eating less than 300 calories each day. In 2018, she began researching and reading exactly what brains need to work properly and after discovering YouTube videos with Dr. Ken Berry, Sally K. Norton, Amber O'hearn, Dr. Shawn Baker and others, she went "all in" on the Carnivore Diet and never looked back. She has been completely healed for 5 years and Valerie is now the wife, mother and daughter that she has always wanted to be. It was truly an honor to have Valerie on the podcast to share her story. I am certain you will find it as emotional and inspiring as I did. Be Well.
